Rites of Passage
Even the beautiful and privileged struggle with growing pains in college despite large bank accounts and caring men in their young lives.

Atlanta, GA - Collegiates Kyla and Kimari Fontaine are the affluent stars of this fictional “coming of age” story that will dazzle the young female reader as surely as a new pair of strappy stiletto’s.

Champagne & Butterflies by S. J. Foster, takes a lighthearted, chick lit glance at young adulthood by using pop culture as the lens. Since both heroines are young, gorgeous and wealthy African-Americans, this drama mixes hip style and urban glamour with enough fashion, action, and passion to enthrall any reader smitten with the jet set ways of today’s label wearing culture.
Raised by father Benjamin, the well-respected CEO of the nation’s largest brokerage firm, and mother Farrah, a former model and popular singer, Kyla and Kimari certainly live a life of privilege. Sometimes dubbed by classmates as the “Black Hilton sisters,” they blaze a popular path having graduated from a prep school in the tony suburbs of Philadelphia to the campus of Penn State, especially when behind the wheel of a Range Rover and convertible Lexus.

Just one year apart in age, sharp-tongued Kimari, who was previously ready to shake her small town ‘It Girl’ status and conquer the globe, finds herself trying to hold onto a relationship with a semi-famous, soon-to-be pro football player while working to get her own star to rise.
Meanwhile Kyla, the calm, collected and considered the more reserved of the two, finds herself in a great relationship with Vince, a safe and loving resident doctor. Ever the overachiever, Kyla buries herself in work to try to shake her lingering feelings for an enticing old flame.
Seen through the eyes of designer clad glasses, both privileged sisters are about to discover who they truly are while experiencing growing pains like never before.
